According to the Met Office, UK mean temperatures have been on the rise since about 1980. But during the exact same period sunshine hours have also been steadily rising. In a paper they published in 2006, the Met Office admitted there was not just a connection, but temperatures and sunshine were in fact strongly correlated. The paper, Climate Memorandum No 21, was an analysis of all climate trends. It has since disappeared from the Met Office website, but is fortunately still saved on Wayback:
It seems strange that the Met Office would remove a scientific paper from their website which is so important and relevant to one of the most contentious issues facing us today, except that it does not fit with the prevailing theme which is that CO2 is responsible for all the warming. Hiding evidence that does not support this contention is dishonest and begs the question - what else may be being hidden from us ?
